Pressley, Michael; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v43 n2 p194-211 Apr 1987
Children 6- to ll-years-old heard concrete sentences which they were asked to learn. Half the children received imagery instruction. Greater short-term memory and verbal competence predicted better sentence learning in the imagery condition, but not in the control condition. (Author/NH)
